Questions about EPC

What people ask.

Why is EPC on Broken Stocks?

EPC qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -38.3% from its rolling 252-day high of $28.28, set on 2025-05-28 — 365d ago.

Is EPC a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. EPC is down -38.3% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 365d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. EPC is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is EPC a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is EPC trading inside its 52-week range?

At $17.44, EPC sits 13.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($15.73) to its 52-week high ($28.28). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has EPC been declining?

The current 38.3% decline accrued over 365d, which annualizes to roughly -38.3% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.

How does EPC compare to its sector?

There are 54 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 34 Red, 12 Amber, 8 Watch, with 29 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -34.4% — EPC's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does EPC's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-05-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
